How can I change my blogspot domain name "___.blogspot.com" to "_____.com"?

Blogspot is a subdomain, so in order to get your own domain name (Yourname.com). You’ll need to purchase a domain name.

To change your Blogspot domain from ___.blogspot.com to _____.com, you'll need to purchase a custom domain and then configure your Blogspot settings. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Buy a Custom Domain

1. Choose a Domain Registrar: Select a domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains).
2. Search for Your Domain: Check the availability of your desired domain name (e.g., _____.com) and purchase it.

Step 2: Configure Domain Settings

1. Access Your Blogspot Settings:
   - Go to your Blogspot dashboard.
   - Click on the blog you want to change.
   - Navigate to Settings > Publishing.
2. Add a Custom Domain:
   - In the Publishing section, click on Custom domain.
   - Enter your new domain (e.g., _____.com) and save.

Step 3: Update DNS Records

1. Get DNS Settings from Blogspot:
   - After saving your custom domain, Blogspot will provide you with specific CNAME records that you need to set up.
2. Log into Your Domain Registrar:
   - Go to the DNS management settings for your new domain.
3. Add CNAME Records:
   - Add the CNAME records provided by Blogspot. Usually, this includes:

• A CNAME record for www pointing to ghs.google.com.
• Another CNAME record for the root domain (if required)

1. Add A Records (Optional but Recommended):
   - To ensure your blog works without the www, you can add A records pointing to the following IP addresses:

• 216.239.32.21
• 216.239.34.21
• 216.239.36.21
• 216.239.38.21

Step 4: Finalize and Test

1. Wait for DNS Propagation: It may take a few hours for DNS changes to propagate.
2. Test Your Domain: After a few hours, visit your new domain (e.g., _____.com) to ensure it redirects to your blog.

Step 5: Set Up Redirects (Optional)

• If you want to ensure visitors to your old Blogspot URL are redirected to your new domain, you can enable the redirect option in Blogspot settings.

 

Conclusion

Once you complete these steps, your Blogspot blog will be accessible via your new custom domain. Make sure to update any links or promotional materials to reflect your new domain name.
